A Cool Million

indianapolis Special: billiard Brew
ms and wife, an aged couple that have
depended upon charity for years, have
just received information that they have
inherited an estate worth upward of
$1,000,000. There is something of ro-
nance in the story of their good for
time. The parents of Mrs. Rrewins
died when she was an infant, and she
was adopted by rich couple living in
Lehigh valley, Pa; but when she mar
ried poor laborer in the neighborhood
against their wishes they cast her of.
With her husband she left her old
home, and she has never since had more
of the comforts of life than the small
earnings of poor laborer would afford
Several years ago her husband became
blind, and they have ever since de-
pended upon charity organization of
indianapolis for sustenance. Through
this Organization, however, came the
information of the estate that had been
left iii Pennsylvania for an adopted
child of wealthy couple, and the story
axreed so well with the history Of Mrs.
Brewins as it appeared upon the charity
records, that the matter was investi-
gated, and it las just been found that
she is really the heiress.

st. Joseph special: Since the hang
ing of the Chicago anarchists week
ago, the police have found in various
places in this city mysterious pieces Of
gas pipe, plugged at both ends with
fuses attached. The first one was found
near the federal hose house and created
no little excitement until examination
showed that it was o fraud, loaded with
roller composition and sand, placed in
the alley by mischief-loving boys. A
day later another piece of pipe was
found near Steele & Walkers wholesale
grocery house. This one was loaded.
Wednesday morning another of the
bombs was found in the alley in the
rear of the collar factory of the Wyeth
Hardware company at Second and julie
streets. The same day another bomb
was found at the foot Of the stairs lead.
ing up into the city hall Captain
Broyles, of the Metropolitan police, took
the bombs this morning ont north of
the city and lighted the fuse of one
them. A terrific explosion followed and
the gas pipe was blown into a thousand
fragments, not trace of it remained.
Another fuse was lighted and the sec
ond bomb exploded. The gas pipe was
split and twisted and part of it blown
away. The third bomb exploded and
the end of it was blown off. While
some think the bombs were made and
dropped by boys who wanted to scare
the police, the prevailing opinion is that
the st. Joseph anarchists who are about
two hundred strong, are responsible for
it. The chief of police has tonight
issued orders for increased vigilance by
the police and for the arrest Of all suspf-
cious parties. The local anarchists are
beipg watched and arrests will follow by
the wholesale if any demonstrations oc-
cur. The reds in st. Joseph were es-
pecially attracted to A. r. Parsons, one
of the seven Haymarket conspirators,
and he had been here some three or
four times since the winter of 1885 and
1886 to deliver addresses. He was mainly
responsible for the success of the local
society in this city.

anonymous letters were produced, addressed

the anarchist had not committed suicide,

the letters. The first witness was Jailer

in relation to the suicide were related in
detail by the jailer, whose testimony was
supplemented by statements from the
physician, Mayer, the turnkey, Englehart,

Lingg could have obtained dynamite or
where he might have concealed it, was
made the subject of a few questions but
remained as dark as ever. A verdict was
returned that Lingg's death was brought
about by the explosion of bomb about
two inches long and one-halfinch in diam
